It is important to have discussions with foster care and juvenile justice involved youth about social injustices that impact their families and their communities.

The trainer will also share multiple strategies to navigate these difficult conversations.

· Participants will be able to identify and apply at least 3 strategies for talking with foster and juvenile justice involved youth about social injustices.
